Mother's Day (Weekend)

On Saturday, Brynn and I weathered the wind to watch Hubert's rugby game. Brynn kindly captured this pic of me.

 

Later on Brynn headed into work and I met up with Dana, Clara, Holly and Kevin for dinner near Barnesville. Clara had Dana had gone to the lake Friday.

The last day of (teaching) Sunday School was last weekend, so we were all able to attend church together which was so nice. We tried to take some pics outside when we got back home, but it was just so windy and bright.

Clara had selected some Bible verses that reminded her of me and read them to me. So sweet. 💜

We went to brunch at Jay's Smokin' BBQ and it was quite the spread of food for their buffet. Sunday was also my dad's birthday so we were celebrating that too!

Dana helped me wash my cars in the afternoon and then he and Clara made us a delicious steak salad for dinner.

Brynn was able to join us for brunch before she had to work later in the afternoon. She came out onto the deck to chat with us after she got home.

I was thinking back to some of the text messages I've exchanged between the girls and me, from humorous to sweet. So, I screenshot some of my favs to share in honor of mother's day. :-) (Clara has an iPad that she can message anyone who has an Apple device, if she's on Wi-Fi.) 

She was supposed to be cleaning her room...rather than making a scarf.

I was in Anaheim for our trade show back in March and had come down with a sinus infection.

We had learned that Mummy Pig from the childhood show Peppa Pig was expecting. I was messaging with Brynn while I at a Fargo Force hockey game and she was baby-sitting Clara and she started randomly sharing her ponderings about Mummy Pig's pregnancy with me. hahaha.

This is Brynn - I'm not sure where I had run off to that she couldn't find me.

Also from Brynn. 💜

My mom had returned my childhood stuffed Popple pet to me recently and I have it either on our bed or nearby on the nightstand. I shared this crime scene with Brynn when I came upon Mr. Popplopigous (his name - I know I refer to her as a she below) in this state. Don't worry; I knew right away who the culprit was.

Clara's cry for help.

Another distress call from Clara...she likes to make ramen, but apparently the 'bricks' are too hard on her hands when she breaks it up to cook it.

From Brynn. LOL.

From Clara:

We hope all the moms in our lives had a wonderful day! We love you all. 💓
